Plot: During the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, a CIA specialist (Affleck) hatches a risky plan to rescue six American diplomats who are being held hostage in Canada's Iranian embassy.

Domestic Box Office Prediction: $33 million

Ben Affleck has quickly rebounded from one of Hollywood's most hated actors to one of its most respected directors. My only reluctance is that I can't think of a single spy movie that I've really liked (admittedly, I haven't seen a Bourne or a Bond). Still, Affleck and his strong cast hold promise.

Outlook: Promising

Picture:
Tony Mendez (Ben Affleck) looks through some important documents while plotting to secure the release of American diplomats being held hostage in Iran.
